I'm a regular Bill Belichick.
tree over there yeah yeah that worries me too i mean can i tell you my favorite joke it's a norm mcdonald joke i mean he heard it from someone else but norm mcdonald used to tell this joke about a moth that walks into a podiatrist's office and podiatrist says what seems to be the problem moth the moth says oh my god doc if only there were just one problem my wife doesn't love me anymore
And I don't blame her. I look in the mirror every day, and I look at myself, and I think, like, look at this lump of flesh. Look what I've become. My children, they're failures. My son married a woman I hate, and my daughter, she has nothing to give me. I just hate life, Doc. I don't know if I can go on. And the podiatrist says, yeah, those are really serious problems, Moth.
I'm super sorry to hear that, but, you know, this is a podiatrist's office. What brought you here today? And the moth says, oh, the light was on. That's my favorite joke. That's my favorite joke because like a huge percentage of the time as humans, we're just flying to the light. We don't even know why. We're just flying to the light of power. We're flying to the light of money.
We're flying to the light of more. And we don't even think about why. And I'm certainly guilty of that myself. But my favorite things in life are where I think like, you know what would be a more interesting light to fly to or a more fun light to fly to would be something else.
I think it's really hard when you're... I really feel for these young YouTubers who get successful when they're really young. I mean, I got successful when I was married and like an adult and I had kids and like my life was pretty set. 22, 23, 17 in some cases, years old. It's a very different situation. And that's really hard.
But I would just encourage those folks to try to think about what are the interesting lights to fly toward instead of just the standard lights.
That's right. There you go. Make the ask. Thank you, John. Thank you.

No, I would say like in the photo, I was like, Rory has a watch on.
That's odd.
And I said, this can't be from today.
And I'm trying my best not to.
I didn't call Boz.
